    摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing the mechanical strength of solid biomass material, in particular ligno-cellulosic biomass. The method comprises heating the solid biomass material to a temperature in the range of 105° C. to 200° C. The heat treatment, which is referred to as “toasting”, significantly reduces the mechanical energy required for reducing the particle size of the solid biomass material.The method is particularly suitable as a pretreatment step to a conversion reaction of the solid biomass material.

    摘要: Intensity inhomogeneities can obscure areas of interest and are problematic for MR image segmentation algorithms. An efficient approach to estimating these inhomogeneities by computing a calibration factor that is a function of an estimated bias field from a series of calibration scans is disclosed. This enables correction of T1W and T2W images by reducing inhomogeneities without the need to map T1 and T2. Because of interest in the shape of the intensity inhomogeneities a limited number of flip angles yield satisfactory performance. Additionally, an RF transmit field B1+ can be estimated and inhomogeneities resulting from the B1+ field reduced from the MR image using the estimated B1+ field.

    摘要: A method of matching data sets, such as different images, by estimating a transformation which relates the two images. Different candidate transformations are scored by using a similarity measure calculated on the basis of probability density functions derived from the two data sets themselves. The probability density functions are based on local likelihood density estimation (LLDE). The technique is applicable to image registration, and also to data fusion.

    摘要: A nitridation treated stainless steel article (such as a bipolar plate for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell) having lower interfacial contact electrical resistance and better corrosion resistance than an untreated stainless steel article is disclosed. The treated stainless steel article has a surface layer including nitrogen-modified chromium-base oxide and precipitates of chromium nitride formed during nitridation wherein oxygen is present in the surface layer at a greater concentration than nitrogen. The surface layer may further include precipitates of titanium nitride and/or aluminum oxide. The surface layer in the treated article is chemically heterogeneous surface rather than a uniform or semi-uniform surface layer exclusively rich in chromium, titanium or aluminum. The precipitates of titanium nitride and/or aluminum oxide are formed by the nitriding treatment wherein titanium and/or aluminum in the stainless steel are segregated to the surface layer in forms that exhibit a low contact resistance and good corrosion resistance.

    摘要: Patients are ventilated responsive to a temporary cessation of breathing by monitoring the spontaneous breaths of the patient and providing a series of mechanical breaths to the patient in the event that the spontaneous breaths by the patient cease. The individual breaths of the series are timed such that the rate of the breaths decreases with increasing time, to induce the patient to resume spontaneous breathing. The approach is practiced with a patient ventilator that is operable responsive to a series of commands that trigger the series of mechanical breaths, with the time between breaths gradually increasing.
